Stability system for a fire apparatus

A stability system for a vehicle, the stability system comprising:

• an outrigger housing having a first tube and a second tube configured to extend laterally across a body assembly of the vehicle, wherein the first tube is configured to be oriented at an angle with a positive slope and the second tube is configured to be oriented at the angle with a negative slope;
• a collar positioned to couple proximate ends of the first tube and the second tube together, the collar having a z-shaped structure;
• a first outrigger having (i) a first arm slidably received within and selectively extendable from the first tube and (ii) a first support foot coupled to and vertically extendable from a distal end of the first arm to engage a ground surface;
• and
• a second outrigger having (i) a second arm slidably received within and selectively extendable from the second tube and (ii) a second support foot coupled to and vertically extendable from a distal end of the second arm to engage the ground surface.

• and
• a pair of front downriggers configured to be coupled to a front end of a chassis of the vehicle, the pair of front downriggers selectively extendable to engage the ground surface.

A vehicle comprising:

• a chassis;
• a body assembly coupled to the chassis;
• a front cabin coupled to a front end of the chassis forward of the body assembly;
• a front axle coupled to the front end of the chassis;
• at least one rear axle coupled to a rear end of the chassis;
• an outrigger assembly coupled to the chassis between the front axle and the at least one rear axle, the outrigger assembly including:
• an outrigger housing having a first tube and a second tube extending laterally across the body assembly, wherein the first tube is oriented at an angle with a positive slope and the second tube in oriented at the angle with a negative slope;
• a first outrigger having (i) a first arm slidably received within and selectively extendable from the first tube and (ii) a first support foot coupled to and vertically extendable from a distal end of the first arm to engage a ground surface;
